1 Overall Documentation Instructions Supportive documentation in the medical record must be dated during the assessment reference period to support the MDS 3.0 responses. The assessment reference period is established by identifying the assessment reference date (A2300) and the previous six (6) days or thirteen (13) days, depending on the RAI Manual instructions. The Assessment Reference Date (ARD) is defined in Chapter 3, Section A of the RAI Manual as the specific end-point for look-back periods in the MDS assessment process. Almost all MDS items refer to the resident s status over a designated time period referring back in time from the ARD. Most frequently, this look-back period, also called the observation period or assessment period, is a seven day period ending on the ARD. Look-back periods may cover the 7 days ending on this date, 14 days ending on this date, and so on. For purposes of this document, the look-back time period ending on the ARD will be referred to as the observation period. Each page or individual document in the medical record must contain the resident identification information. Supportive documentation entries must be dated and their authors identified by signature or initials. Signatures are required to authenticate all medical records. At a minimum, the signature must include the first initial, last name, and title/credential. Any time a facility chooses to use initials in any part of the record for authentication of an entry, there must also be corresponding full identification of the initials on the same form or on a signature legend. Initials may never be used where a signature is required by law (i.e., on the MDS). When electronic signatures are used, there must be policies to identify those who are authorized to sign electronically and have safeguards in place to prevent unauthorized use of electronic signatures.

2 Multi-page supportive documentation forms completed by one staff member may be signed and dated at the end of the form, given each page is identified with the resident s identification information and the observation period is clearly designated on the form (with the exception of Activities of Daily Living-ADLs). Corrections/Obliterations/Errors/Mistaken Entries: At a minimum, the audit teams must see one line through the incorrect information, the staff s initials, the date the correction was made, and the correct information. Changes to the Electronic Health Record based upon Article citation: Quinsey, Carol Ann. Is Legal EHR a Redundancy? Journal of American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) 78, no. 2 (February 2007): Error correction in the electronic record applies the same principles as for the paper medical record. Some indication that a previous version of the entry exists must be present to the caregiver or other person viewing the entry. Management of revisions, although challenging in some EHRs, is imperative and must be appropriate to maintain a legally sound record. Late entries into a health record represent another issue that must be addressed as the EHR system is set up. Late entries may be counted in days, months, or even years, but as soon as it is determined that something was missed or incorrect in the original record, a late entry note should be permitted by the EHR system. Such entries should be clearly labeled as a late entry and contain the current date, time, and authorized signature. Amendments are a form of late entry. These may be updates or corrections provided by the patient or caregiver. Again, these should be clearly labeled as an addendum or amendment and include the current date, time, and authorized signature. Healthcare organizations should outline a policy on who is authorized to make amendments, late entries, and correct errors. Procedure should clearly dictate how these changes to an EHR are made. Note: This document contains RAI instructions current as of. Please refer periodically to the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) website ( for updates to the RAI instructions.

3 B0100 Comatose B0700 Making Self Understood -Impaired Cognition -Impaired Cognition - Includes only a diagnosis of coma or persistent vegetative state. For example, some residents in advanced stages of progressive neurologic disorders such as Alzheimer s disease may have severe cognitive impairment, be non-communicative and sleep a great deal of time; however, they are usually not comatose or in a persistent vegetative state, as defined here. The resident s ability to express or communicate requests, needs, opinions, and to conduct social conversation in his or her primary language whether in speech, writing, sign language, gestures or a combination of these. Deficits in the ability to make one s self understood (expressive communication deficits) can include reduced voice volume and difficulty in producing sounds, or difficulty in finding the right word, making sentences, writing and/or gesturing. Documented neurological diagnosis of coma or persistent vegetative state from physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or clinical nurse specialist not employed by the facility. Documented example of resident s ability to make self understood and method or tools used. C0200 Repetition of Three Words -Impaired Cognition - The maximum number of words that the resident correctly repeated on the first Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) attempt. MDS will be considered source document. Evidence of interview during the look-back period must be present. C0300A,B,C Temporal Orientation Year, Month, Day -Impaired Cognition In general, the ability to place oneself in correct time. For the BIMS, it is the ability to indicate the correct date in current surroundings. Ability to report correct year, month and day of the week. MDS will be considered source document. Evidence of interview during the look-back period must be present. C0400A,B,C Recall -Impaired Cognition The ability to recall each of the three words the resident was asked to repeat earlier in Item C0200 with cueing, if necessary.

4 C0700 Short-Term Memory -Impaired Cognition Based on all information collected regarding the resident s short-term memory during the 7-day look-back period, identify and code according to the most representative level of function. Documented example of the resident s shortterm memory status such as ability to describe an event 5 minutes after it occurred or follows through on a direction given 5 minutes earlier. (See RAI Manual for examples). C1000 Cognitive Skills for Daily Decision Making -Impaired Cognition Daily decision making includes choosing clothing; knowing when to go to meals; using environmental cues to organize and plan, in the absence of environmental cues seeking information appropriately from others in order to plan the day; using awareness of one s own strengths and limitations to regulate the day s events; acknowledging need to use appropriate assistive equipment such as a walker. Documented example of the resident s ability to make decisions about tasks of everyday living. (See RAI Manual for examples). The intent of this item is to record what the resident is doing (performance). D0200A-I, 2 Resident Mood Interview (PHQ-9 ) (14-day look back) D0500A-J, 2 Staff Assessment of Resident Mood (PHQ-9- OV ) (14-day look back) E0100A Hallucinations (PHQ-9 Resident or Staff Assessment score of 10 or greater is considered depressed) (PHQ-9 Resident or Staff Assessment score of 10 or greater is considered depressed) -Behavior Problems 9-Item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9 ) is a validated interview that screens for symptoms of depression. It provides a standardized severity score and a rating for evidence of a depressive disorder. Record the resident s responses as they are stated, regardless of whether the symptoms are attributed to something other than mood. Conduct the interview preferably the day before or the day of the ARD. Staff should complete the PHQ-9-OV Staff Assessment of Mood, when patients are unable or unwilling to complete the PHQ-9 Resident Mood Interview so that any behaviors, signs, or symptoms of mood distress are identified. (See RAI Manual for interview tips). The perception of the presence of something that is not actually there. It may be auditory or visual or involve smells, tastes or touch. Resident Mood Interview (PHQ-9 ) symptom frequency codes are sufficient. MDS will be considered source document. Documented examples demonstrating the presence and frequency of clinical mood indicators must be provided during the observation period. Documented example of the hallucination(s) during the observation period. HP Enterprise Services Page 4 of 29

The presence of symptoms that occurred and their frequency. These symptoms are not based on an interpretation of the behavior s meaning, cause or the assessor s judgment that the behavior can be explained or should be tolerated. The resident s care preferences reflect desires, wishes, inclinations, or choices for care. Preferences do not have to appear logical or rational to the clinician. Similarly, preferences are not necessarily informed by facts or scientific knowledge and may not be consistent with good judgment. Determine whether a previous discussion identified an objection to the type of care or the way in which the care was provided. Documented example of the delusion(s) during the observation period. Documented evidence of the resident s specific physical behavioral symptoms and frequency of occurrence. Frequency may be determined by a tracking tool/log and/or by narrative notes describing the resident s specific behavior.

Pacing (repetitive walking with a driven/pressured quality) within a constrained space is not included in wandering. Documented evidence of the resident's wandering behavior and frequency of occurrence. Frequency may be determined by a tracking tool/log and/or by narrative notes describing the resident s specific behavior. G0110A, 1&2 G0110B, 1&2 G0110I, 1&2 G0110H, 1 Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Assistance -All -Included in Coma string impacting count in Clinically Complex and Impaired Cognition Wandering may occur even if resident is in a locked unit. These four ADLs include bed mobility, transfer, toileting, and eating. Measures what the resident actually did (not what he or she might be capable of doing) within each ADL category over the last 7 days according to a performance-based scale. Documentation of these ADLs requires 24 hours/7 days within the observation period while in the facility. There must be signatures/initials (more than one set) and dates of direct care staff, to authenticate the services provided. If using an ADL grid for supporting documentation, the key for self-performance and support provided must be equivalent in definition to the MDS key. HP Enterprise Services Page 6 of 29

Evidence proving pressure-relieving, pressurereducing, and pressure-redistributing devices. Documentation at least once within the observation period must be noted in the chart for resident specific devices. Facilities providing pressure-reducing mattresses for all beds should have a documented policy noting such in their policy and procedure manual. Requirements: 1) program must be care planned, 2) recorded daily within the observation period, and 3) documentation is made describing and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions (i.e. program) within the observation period. The resident s response must be noted within the observation period.
